Be it known that I, BENN AI GmLsoN, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Ukiah, in the county of Mendocino and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Flows, of which the following is a s ecificationg The 0 ject 0 this invcntsd is principally to plow near and aroundth trunks of orchard trees, Where the law hanging limbs prevent the use of the ordinary .plow.

In the accompanying drawing, forming art of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan.

*ig. 2 is a-sect1on of some of the gearing.

Like figures refer to like parts.

The frame 1 ofthe carriage is carried on.

driving wheels 2 and swivel wheel 33, on for ward end of frame is an arm 11 extending to one side, on the end of this arm is movably attached at 35 another arm member 10, near the end of this member is fixed a quadrant 9 and a brace 29, to this brace is secured one or more lows 30, to the arm member 10 is attache a plate or-bar 19 by connections 20 and bell crank levers 21, and heldby springs 34 in a normal position. The bell crank lei vers are connected to red 22, the rod 22 is connected throu h rod 23, and bell crank 24,

to rod 25 and t rough a lever 26 operates clutch 7, which is splined slidable on shaft 6 sechred to collar 28.

Ms a bevel gear wheel on shaft 6 meshing intd bevelwheel 4.

(fin shaft 3 are the driving wheels 2.

12 is a toothed rack on .arm 11 into which meshes pinion 13on shaft 14.

1'7 is a wheel on shaft 14 into which gears wheel 16 connected to hand wheel 18.

37 is a cam shaped pro iection on quadrant9.

39 is a seat for the p owman.

41 is a lever which can be operated by footat 42 through fed 40 to lever26.

38 represents a tree.

32 shows, places for attaching plows to frame for plowin narrow spaces.

The drawings ows but one arm member 10 and one gem of plows on the right of the carriage, a'simi ar gang is designed to be carried on the left hand side of the carriage and connected to the arm. 11, similar to that Specification of Letters Patent.

' shown'on the right hand side connected to outward to a set limit and the cam piece 37 forces lever 26 to release the clutch. If the plowman should wish to have the lows move inward at any other time, by' p acing his foot on lever 41, through connection 40 to the clutch lever 26, the same movement will be effected as if operated by the bar 19. The distance that the arm carr ing the plows 11 extend beyond theside'of t e carriage. can be set by the plowman using thehand wheel 18 e and connectmgthrough bevel gear 16 and 17 shaft 14 to pinion 13, which isin gear with racks on arin 11.
